She’s Proud of Her Multicultural Heritage

The United States is commonly described as a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities; and Victoria Justice could easily be considered one of the country’s poster children. After all, she’s the product of an English-German-Irish father and a Puerto Rican mother. And the Nickelodeon star is proud to serve as a role model. “I think it's really cool that I can represent that sort of melting pot,” Justice once told Para Todos magazine. “I think that Latina girls and even guys need to be able to look up to someone who's similar to them on TV, and I think that’s really cool that I could be able to do that and that they can relate to me."
